If you take a picture of a goldfish will it stun them?

Taking good pictures of goldfish can be quite challenging; they are terribly afraid of cameras and camera lenses. Taking a picture without the flash on will not stun the fish but having the flash on may cause the fish to whip around the tank extremely fast. Its safer to not have the flash on since in a goldfish's sudden outburst of fright and disorientation it may potentially injure itself on something.
